Rob from Alexander James Recruiting was excellent; quick with feedback, knowledgeable, and always gave me confidence. His friendly, professional support made the recruitment process seamless. I couldn’t have asked for more!

Joel Cross

Junior Project Manager - LAC Logistics Automation

Candidate

Alexander James Recruiting came highly recommended to me and I can certainly second that. They took the time to understand me, and my experience to ensure that I was suitable for the role, as well as to fit into the company I was to be placed at and kept constant communication open with me through the entire process, including managing the process around my timeline of moving country.

Shannon Wilson

Area Sales Manager - Crown Lift Trucks UK

Candidate

In all my years of using recruiters, Rob by far has been absolutely one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Always on the phone, always there with support, from beginning to end. Rob made the whole process of working with him feel like I was getting a unique personal service. I can’t speak anymore highly of the service received from Rob. If I ever need a recruiter again Rob will be one of the first on my list without a second thought. He understands his clients requirements from both ends of the industry and goes above and beyond!

Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough
